How much thicker does the phone become and can I use NFC?

I found the replacement back cover is 9 mm think..phone is 8 mm...seidio case is 2 mm for a total of 19 mm total ....Everything I read online states that NEW still works...I have not tried it.

It adds another 1/4" to the phone, but with the stricture of the case it fits like a glove in your hand, it's perfect. Yes, the NFC works.

About twice as thick but not bad at all and yes nfc will work but it depends on the battery you get for it not the case

Yes, it does. Haven't tried out the NFC, but I put the new, roomier back on the phone, and taped some cut index cards to my old battery to allow it to fit without flopping. I have a soft case for my phone so the larger back wasn't an issue. If you have a hard case, it WILL be an issue.

I am using a Nexus 6 and I learned it does interfere with the phone's NFC. I stuck the metal plate on the back lower portion of the phone, only place really.

I have never used the NFC feature of the phone, but, I have to believe the engineers who designed the phone and NFC too into consideration that many phones would have protective cases, and allowed for that in the design of the standard.

Nope, with two cards in mine, it adds less than 1/4 inch of bulk. I can hold the phone and put in a pocket without issues. It'll only become bulky if you put, well, bulky things in it, like a wound-up set of ear-bud headphones.

seeing that the iphone 6 is not out yet not tested but in theory they should work. NFC are read by Magenctic feilds emmited by the phone. It allows them to store data like a flash drive. these inpartculer have small data size so you can store an id# or ulr but nothing more. So you have to get an app that will do things with the number that is given.

it's about a 1/2 thick but larger then my ATT flip phone, I have had no problem with this phone, I bought a cover for it and carry it in my fanny pack and have no problems with it.

The packaging said yes it has NFC. I can enable it with CM, but sorry I have not been able to try and verify it works yet.

thinner than a dime - I placed mine between a protective cover and the phone with no problem

Yah thicker phone will be just fine..they got really great space..I am using s5 with quite thick casing..I still need some stereofom to make it perfectly fit..when you bought it, it comes with black stereofoam..

it will definitely fit, but despite it show strips for NFC, it won't work...... Im abt to buy [If i can see one] something w/ NFC capable.

I would say it makes it 2 to 2 1/2 times as thick, but still not bad. It does have a "rubbery" texture which may make it harder to slide in/out of a pocket, I wear mine on my belt. It is slimmer than other otter boxes I've had. Very nice product if you're hard on your phones like I am.

Not at all. The actual phone thickness is 0.8mm and the casing only adds another 0.2mm to the thickness. It does not actually add excess bulk but rather adds more grip to the phone. The actual phone without the casing is too slim for handling in my opinion.

Maybe 3 mm thicker. It took maybe a day to get used to the feel of it. I can still reach every corner of the screen one-handed

I'd like to tell you but I sold my S3 and got the S4. I noticed my S4 battery says NFC capable. I didn't notice that on the S3 battery though.

Not using the official app. Keep in mind, the range of NFC is max ~6 inches, so it couldn't be used for ranging. These tiles are primarily for altering settings on your phone.

It does make it somewhat thicker, I wouldn't suggest it if you are one who likes their phone to fit in their pants pocket.I can fit it in my jeans both front and back pockets but it's bulky and probably wouldn't be comfortable after a period of time. Hope that helps :)
